The Pigargo Eagle is larger thatn the Spanish Imperial Eagle, and a reward has been offere for its return.
Safari Park Madrid has said that it has lost one of its Pigargo eagles and have issued a 500 € reward for the animal which has now been missing for ten days. The bird has leather identity rings on its legs, and experts think it probably can survive in the wild.

The brown bird with a dramatic white head is easily identified being much larger than the Spanish Imperial Eagle. In fact its size stops it from flying long distances and so is still thought to be close to the Safari Park in Aldea del Fresno.

The park’s phone number is 91 862 23 14
